Speculation around Jailer 2 is getting stronger by the day. Fans have been waiting for a clear update from the makers. Instead, a surprise comment from Mithun Chakraborty has taken over the conversation. His words have pushed the film back into the spotlight, especially because Shah Rukh Khan’s name has come up once again.
The buzz has spread fast across social media. Many are now wondering if this could finally mean a big SRK cameo in Rajinikanth’s much-awaited sequel.
Mithun Chakraborty’s Comment Sparks Jailer 2 Cameo Buzz
The fresh excitement around Jailer 2 began after Mithun Chakraborty spoke to Bengali media outlet SITI Cinema. During the interview, he was asked about stories and films that impressed him recently. Mithun quickly named Jailer 2 and praised its scale and cast.
He said, “It’s a film which has Superstar Rajinikanth and many senior artists.” What followed caught everyone’s attention. Mithun went on to mention Shah Rukh Khan, Mohanlal, Ramya Krishnan and Shivarajkumar as part of the ensemble. This single statement was enough to send fans into a frenzy.
Social media platforms were flooded with reactions. Many fans believe this could hint at SRK’s long-rumoured cameo. Others are waiting for an official confirmation before celebrating. For now, the makers and director Nelson Dilipkumar have stayed silent on Shah Rukh Khan’s involvement.
Still, Mithun’s words have made the rumours harder to ignore. For fans, even a short scene featuring SRK and Rajinikanth together would be a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
Rajinikanth Returns As Tiger In Jailer 2
While the cameo talk continues, work on Jailer 2 is moving ahead. Shivarajkumar has confirmed that shooting has already started. He also revealed that his role in the sequel will be more important than in the first film.
Rajinikanth will return as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian, a character loved by audiences across India. Ramya Krishnan will once again play his wife, carrying forward the emotional connect from the first part. Director Nelson plans to take the action and humour to a higher level this time.
The cast includes Vinayakan, Suraj Venjaramoodu and Santhanam. Meghna Raj Sarja is making her comeback to Tamil cinema with this film. Anna Rajan (known for Angamaly Diaries) is also part of the project. Music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, whose songs and background score were a major highlight of the first film.
Produced by Sun Pictures, Jailer 2 features cinematography by Vijay Karthik Kannan and editing by R. Nirmal. The film is currently planned for a worldwide release on June 12, 2026, though some reports point to a later release window.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Busy Schedule
Shah Rukh Khan is busy with his upcoming film King. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the action thriller is set for a 2026 release. The film is special as it marks the big-screen debut of SRK’s daughter, Suhana Khan.
King also stars Abhishek Bachchan and Abhay Verma. Anirudh Ravichander is composing the music for this project as well.
Whether Shah Rukh Khan appears in Jailer 2 or not, Mithun Chakraborty’s comment has done its job. The film is now firmly on the radar of audiences across languages, and the excitement is only growing.
